Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate the notification of the statement of live birth to Jaboatão dos Guararapes, Pernambuco State, residents, which died with less than a year of life, through the linkage between the System of Information on Mortality (SIM) and the System of Information on Live Birth (SINASC) in the year of 2004, in order to assess the quality of information. The population of the study was composed by 184 death certificates registered on SIM. Then these death certificates were paired with the respective DNV. Hence, it could be verified that 49 DNs had not been registered on the SINASC, which lead to an active search of these in the various localities where the death occurred. After this procedure, 33 (67.35%) medical records were located. From these, 7 (14.29%) were rescued to the statement of live birth and 5 (10.20%) presented divergences of the information. These results call the attention to the need of enabling the professionals that fulfill the base tools of the information systems, thus, improving their quality.

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors
Sampling errors originate from improper sampling methods or the wrong sample population. These errors can be minimized by refining the sampling strategy. Defective instruments or faulty calibrations are the sources of instrumental...
Graphical and Analytic Representation of Sinusoids
The first step is measuring the peak-to-peak value, which is twice the amplitude of the sinusoid. This provides information about the maximum voltage swing of the waveform.
Secondly, the period and angular frequency are determined. The period is the time taken for one complete cycle of the waveform, while...
